I have seen people work two, three jobs so that the children can go to private school or mom can stay home and homeschool.

They shouldn't have to. They pay school taxes, don't they? Why not use those for their choice, rather than have them stolen to pay for a dead horse? We homeschool, yet are still forced, by law, to pay for liberal indoctrination. If we were to use the money allowed the public school to educate our children, we'd use a private school and keep the change! Why give that money to public schools when we can choose another? Why be forced to dig trenches for freedom?

They shouldn't have to. They pay school taxes, don't they?

Some do, many under current voucher programs do not due to being low income. Remember, not everyone pays and the rich are taxed to compensate for the poor.

We homeschool, yet are still forced, by law, to pay for liberal indoctrination.

So do those who are childless. Where are their vouchers? If we had a tax credit rather than a voucher then parents could have school choice and the childless would be able to keep their money. No one would be forced to pay for public schooling or other forms of education that they do not believe in.

I agree with everything you said there. We do pay the taxes and are therefore forced to pay for the public schools and we shouldn't. But vouchers is just running a different dead-horse- they still take it and then give it back (at its reduced value after paying government overhead). Ideally they wouldn't take it at all. However education is just one example of them doing that- and although changing that is a related battle, it is a different battle.

I wish more would wake up and demand change but too many people like the free babysitting service- and they don't mind forcing us to pay for it. It certainly isn't right but I fear we have gone to far down this path and changing it is near impossible.
